I'm not sure how long the daily blog posts will last.  There doesn't seem to be as much to report on each day.  As we settle back to a new normal, we are finding that things aren't the same, but they are okay.

I spent another full day at work today.  I did decide to come home for lunch.  I really think that helped Marty.  It gave him something to look forward to.  It also gave something for me to look forward to.  Who am I kidding, I came home as much for me and I did for him.  Even if it was just for a roast beef sandwich, I had great company :)

Addyson got out of school 1/2 hour early today.  I forgot to tell Marty she was going to be home early.  Marty was downstairs taking a nap when she came in.  He heard the door open and it scared him to death.  He sat downstairs shaking for several minutes, even after he realized it was her.  He was convinced someone had broken in.  Note to self, do not surprise Marty.  He doesn't like surprises.

I am so grateful that we still have meals brought in 2 days a week.  I often feel like I am barely hanging on as it is.  I think my kids would survive on cold cereal and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches if it weren't for the awesome friends we have.  Tonight's dinner of chili and cornbread was perfect on this rainy dark day. 

I don't think I will ever be able to thank everyone that has fed us, prayed for us, fasted for us, called us, sent us cards, visited us, thought about us or offered other forms of awesome service.  I pray the Lord will bless them 100 fold for their acts of kindness.

Matthew 25:40

Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
